Evolution Creek

Diurnal peak at 15:00. Cross before 07:00 — the stream runs 30–50 cm shallower in the cold window. If you reach it after 10:00, camp on this bank.

One system, six roles

Your spreadsheet, GPS beacon, permit binder and home crew — replaced.

Trek, your on-trail AI

Hands-free voice journaling, hazard-plant alerts, water assessment and hydration cues — all on-device, all offline. At camp, Trek drafts your day into a trail vignette. Zero typing.

Verified drop network

Gas stations, grocers and Trail Angels that accept UPS, FedEx and Amazon — not only USPS. Your home crew gets a ship-now signal timed to your real pace, with carrier warnings built in.

4x4 dispatch bounties

Shoe blowout at Harts Pass. Post a bounty, a local off-road driver claims it, escrow releases on GPS-verified pickup. Drivers keep 95–97 %. No hitchhiking roulette.

Campo → Manning Park

  6. The finish, since 2025

    Northbound finishers cannot cross into Canada on foot. Trekker plans the mandatory 30.5-mile backtrack to Harts Pass into your food math, and pools you into a shared 4x4 shuttle down NF-5400.

Pricing

The trail costs $71 a day. Trekker costs 50¢.

Pay once, up front — so an expired card in month four cannot lock you out at mile 1,700.
